Gluten Free Pancake Recipes
Pancakes are seen as an indulgent breakfast, lunch and dinner all over the world. Here at Absolutely, we’ve compiled a list of some of the best gluten free pancake recipes to feast on this Shrove Tuesday.
Buckwheat Pancakes
Serves 4
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 250 mL skim milk
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 200g buckwheat flour
- 1 ½ teaspoons of baking powder
- 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
- Spray oil
Method
First, pre-heat your oven to 100 degrees celcius to store your pancakes before serving.
Next, whisk your wet ingredients (eggs, milk and vanilla) together in a medium bowl. In a separate mixing bowl, sieve the flour and add in the baking powder and cinnamon. Slowly add the wet ingredients from the mixing bowl to the dry ingredients and whisk. Add a pinch of salt and leave the batter to rest for one hour.
Heat a fry pan over a medium heat. Once the pan is hot, spray some oil in the centre of the pan to prevent batter from sticking. Pour a large spoonful of batter into the pan to make a pancake. Once the pancake has a golden bottom, flip the pancake over. Repeat this technique with the remaining batter.
Place the pancakes in the oven to keep warm. Line each with a separate piece of baking paper to prevent them sticking together.
Serve the pancakes with your choice of topping: strawberries, maple syrup or ice cream.

Rice Flour Banana Pancakes
Makes 10-12 small pancakes
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups of brown rice flour
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon cardamom
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup of almond milk
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or oil of choice
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup or agave nectar
- 2 ripe bananas mashed
Method
Firstly, in a mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until mostly smooth. Add the eggs, milk, oil and agave and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon and cardamom. Incorporate the flour mixture into the banana/egg mixture and stir just until combined.
Next, heat a frypan over a medium heat and add a dollup of butter or some oil to prepare the pan for batter.
Form small pancakes on the skillet (about 2 – 3 tablespoons each) and allow them to cook for a couple of minutes. Once the sides begin to set, flip them over to the other side (be gentle, as these pancakes are more fragile than your average pancake) and cook for a further 3 to 5 minutes until cooked through.
